As I drove home late Sunday, I began to think about the past few weeks. While my mind drifted to the events of the season, I thought, “this needs to be a buttered noodle kind of night.” For those of you who have been with us a few years, you...
Preparing the Heart - Friday Upon waking one morning, I began quietly talking to God. Praying and listening. After a few moments He spoke three words to me… “Preparing the heart.” I knew this was to be my subject of study for the day – so I began. What...

I was driving home, lost in thought. I began to think about how this day began. I awoke with a heavy heart. The weekend was spent officiating the funeral service for my aunt and taking care of the family things afterward. Although that was behind us – heaviness still loomed....

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” I have always loved that scripture and I pray it all the time over my daughter and grandchildren. One weekend, God showed me a simple and...
Did you know one of the remedies for trauma is to sing? It is! Isn’t that amazing. I discovered this one year when my daughter had a four-wheeler accident on her farm. It landed on her, and she was banged up quite a bit. A couple days after one thing...
Have you ever felt weary beyond words? I have. The good news is we do not have to remain that way – we can stay filled with the peace, the joy and the presence of God. Lately, I have been spending time each day with my aunt, who has covid. ...
